The Miscellaneous Writings and Speeches of Lord Macaulay
Vol. 1 (of 4)

PREFACE
95/219

Prometheus begins thus:-- "Coelus begat Saturn and Briareus Cottus and Creius and Iapetus, Gyges and Hyperion, Phoebe, Tethys, Thea and Rhea and Mnemosyne.
Then Saturn wedded Rhea, and begat Pluto and Neptune, Jupiter and Juno." CALLIDEMUS.

Very beautiful, and very natural; and, as you say, very like Euripides.
SPEUSIPPUS.

You are sneering.

Really, father, you do not understand these things.

You had not those advantages in your youth-- CALLIDEMUS.
